Industry-leading software solutions from leading vendor MICROMINE will be showcased at Investing in African Mining Indaba from 4 to 7 February at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. </div>

<p>Celebrating its 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary, and billed as the world’s largest mining investment conference, and the largest mining event in Africa, the Mining Indaba is “a great platform to market our company and people,” MICROMINE Africa Marketing Coordinator <strong>Craig Sternslow</strong> comments.</p><p>“Mining Indaba has always been a place where we can show the industry what our solutions are capable of, as well as showcasing new releases, upgrades, and general networking with like-minded people in the industry. It is good to catch up with our clients, as well as provide demonstrations to organisations looking at mining solutions to streamline processes, increase productivity and efficiency,” Sternslow highlights.</p><p>“The world is becoming a more digitally-minded space, with an emphasis on safety, longevity, efficiency, and higher profitability being the main drivers of a digital world. This is starting to apply more to the mining industry, especially as mines become more technology-driven. It is becoming imperative that mines adopt technology to increase efficiencies and safety.”</p><p>In terms of the outlook for the mining industry in 2019, Sternslow points out commodity prices have seen a positive trend, and the outlook seemingly is on the up into the New Year. Although the main focus has been on gold, base metal assets have also rebounded. Many drilling programmes subsequently resumed or were relaunched throughout the year.</p><p>In addition, there has been an increase in exploration activity for certain minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, due to the global interest in cleaner technologies and a push towards a low-carbon economy. West Africa is anticipated to reap the most benefit from this rise in exploration, due to high-grade lithium discoveries as seen in Ghana.</p><p>However, exploration in other regions has seen a sharp decline, due to certain regulatory and legislative changes that have resulted in a sharp drop in investor confidence, reducing the funding available for exploration.</p><p><em>For more information, visit <a href="http://www.miningindaba.com/">www.miningindaba.com</a>.</em></p><p><strong><em>Ends</em></strong></p><p><strong>Connect with MICROMINE on Social Media to receive the company’s latest news</strong></p><p><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://web.facebook.com/MICROMINEAfrica/">https://web.facebook.com/MICROMINEAfrica/</a></p><p><strong>Twitter:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/MICROMINEAfrica">https://twitter.com/MICROMINEAfrica</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn: </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/micromine/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/micromine/</a></p><p><strong>Notes to the Editor<br /></strong>To download hi-res images for this release, please visit <a href="http://media.ngage.co.za/">http://media.ngage.co.za</a> and click the MICROMINE link to view the company’s press office.</p><p><strong>About MICROMINE<br /></strong>MICROMINE is a leading provider of innovative software solutions that span the breadth of the mining cycle, from geological exploration and data management to resource estimation, mine design, planning and production control.

Leading mining software solutions and services provider MICROMINE Africa continues to place a large focus on offering tertiary institutions such as Schools of Mines specialised software packages to better equip graduates with the skills needed for the evolving mining industry on the continent. </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>With investment in emerging economies on the rise, the aim is to use this investment successfully. One such way is investing in training and technology, which improves the efficiency of mining operations. In addition, an important trend is co-investment in projects. This reduces the capital outlay for governments which, in turn, results in greater productivity, job creation, and increased exports.</p><p>“No doubt Africa has a long way still to go. However, it is now taking its resources much more seriously, and has a far better understanding of the potential of mineral deposits to generate income, uplift communities and put more resources into Skills Development. Africa is on the up with regards to better mining practices, as well as investing in projects and businesses that will better its economies,” MICROMINE Africa Marketing Coordinator <strong>Craig Sternslow</strong> comments.</p><p>A major contributor to the growth in exploration in emerging economies is advancements in software, such as Micromine, Pitram, and Geobank. Many African governments are also creating more investment-friendly policies and regulations. “Legislation and policies have taken centre stage in Africa over the past year, with many governments starting to realise they need to manage their resources and interests more efficiently,” Sternslow elaborates.</p><p>This is where MICROMINE’s software solutions play an integral role, as having a database of all historic and current data, from aeromagnetic to drill-hole or topographic data, will assist in justifying and validating the resource capabilities of a particular country.</p><p>Regulatory improvements have seen a more open-minded and community-focused movement. Simplified permit and licence processes, with a reduction in restrictions on prospecting, makes it easier for mining and exploration companies to explore new areas.</p><p>“Governments and mining companies must understand the need to have local equity partnerships, improved labour laws, and incentives for local investment, as well as technology transfer for local communities,” Sternslow stresses.</p><p>A drastic shift towards financial sustainability is currently happening right now in Africa, which is leading many financial analysts to, indeed, call it the next emerging market. Africa has definitely changed over the last decade, with a proactive shift in driving the evolution of the mining industry.</p><p>“The rise in commodity prices such as gold and copper is creating a more stable environment for some mining operations. This is resulting in an uptick in exploration growth, because mining companies are viewing Africa as an ideal destination for new finds,” Sternslow concludes.</p><p><strong><em>Ends</em></strong></p><p><strong>Connect with MICROMINE on Social Media to receive the company’s latest news</strong></p><p><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://web.facebook.com/MICROMINEAfrica/">https://web.facebook.com/MICROMINEAfrica/</a></p><p><strong>Twitter:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/MICROMINEAfrica">https://twitter.com/MICROMINEAfrica</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn: </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/micromine/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/micromine/</a></p><p><strong>Notes to the Editor<br /></strong>To download hi-res images for this release, please visit <a href="/">http://media.ngage.co.za</a> and click the MICROMINE link to view the company’s press office.</p><p><strong>About MICROMINE<br /></strong>MICROMINE is a leading provider of innovative software solutions that span the breadth of the mining cycle, from geological exploration and data management to resource estimation, mine design, planning and production control.

</div>
</div>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:medium;">Micromine has long been known for its capabilities in the mining industry and continues to increase its footprint in South Africa and Africa as a whole. Micromine 2018 has been developed to adapt to mining operations as they grow during the course of their lifespan. The software is especially easy to use, intuitive and is Microsoft Gold Certified.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:medium;">MICROMINE South Africa Regional Manager </span><strong><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:medium;">Renier Strydom</span></strong><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:medium;"> comments that Micromine 2018’s user-friendliness and functionality provides exploration geologists, in particular, an in-depth understanding of their prospective projects and the potential success. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:medium;">The software is module based, ranging from exploration to mining and scheduling.

Big Data can be applied to mining operations with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever before, thanks to software innovations such as Pitram from MICROMINE, a fleet management and mine control solution. </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>With the quantity of data collected and its complexity in the mining industry rapidly on the increase, the ability to handle these large, complex data sets is critical. This has highlighted the need in the mining industry for easy-to-use, fast, function-rich, and fit-for-purpose solutions such as Pitram, MICROMINE South Africa regional manager <strong>Renier Strydom</strong> comments.</p><p>Pitram is a fully-configurable solution that captures, monitors, and reports on operational and production data. It provides real-time analytical capabilities to enable improved decision-making on critical areas such as safety, development, and asset utilisation.</p><p>The major advantage of Pitram is that it is both scalable in its approach and agile by design, providing a world-class customised solution for any mining operation, irrespective of existing systems or infrastructure.</p><p>“Data is king, and it’s how we interpret, manage, and analyse that data that delivers the real benefit for clients and industry,” Strydom comments. In this regard, the latest trend is for intuitive solutions that are not only user-friendly, but that also promote integration among different software solutions. This trend is becoming prominent due to increased Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications in the mining industry.</p><p>“The use of assisted-control equipment is more and more common, while fully autonomous equipment is common in haulage and drilling operations,” Strydom adds. Health and safety is also boosting the need for smarter analytics, with PPE now incorporating sensors to transmit information about potentially hazardous working conditions, for example.</p><p>“I believe that ongoing advances in digital technology has the potential to unlock new ways of managing variability and enhancing productivity in the mining industry. Of course, the greatest benefit of this trend will be derived when such technology is integrated across the entire supply chain. This, in turn, will allow for more informed decision-making, as well as more consistent mining operations,” Strydom stresses.</p><p>With over 20 offices globally, including South Africa, MICROMINE can importantly offer 24/7/365 support. “Our specialists have the local knowledge to provide solutions that are relevant to your geographic location and operation, maximising the return on your investment,” Strydom highlights. He adds that Pitram has a 100% deployment success rate in over 60 mine sites globally, including some of the most complex and challenging mines in the world.</p><p><strong><em>Ends</em></strong></p><p><strong>Notes to the Editor<br /></strong>To download hi-res images for this release, please visit <a href="/">http://media.ngage.co.za</a> and click the MICROMINE link to view the company’s press office.</p><p><strong>About MICROMINE<br /></strong>MICROMINE is a leading provider of innovative software solutions that span the breadth of the mining cycle, from geological exploration and data management to resource estimation, mine design, planning and production control.

Existing and prospective clients can look forward to the latest Geobank 2018 release in early March, with Micromine 2018 planned for a mid-April 2018 launch, according to leading mining-software solutions provider MICROMINE. The latest iterations are hotly-anticipated due to increased project activity in the mining industry. </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>As a leading provider of innovative software solutions, MICROMINE aims to deliver at least one major release of each of its software solutions every year, MICROMINE South Africa regional manager <strong>Renier Strydom</strong> explains.</p><p>“These major releases typically aim to include a host of new functionalities and enhancements for existing tools, in order to keep up-to-date with market and client requirements so as to allow for continued return on their software investment. In addition, we continue to innovate with the vision of making exploration and mining easier,” Strydom comments. However, smaller service packs are released throughout the year.</p><p>MICROMINE gave a sneak peak of Geobank 2018 and Micromine 2018 at Mining Indaba in Cape Town in February, in addition to its comprehensive suite of software solutions. “Feedback from attending delegates was very positive, particularly around the much-anticipated new releases. The added features and benefits of Geobank 2018 in particular, aimed at improving its overall usability, was well received. Similarly, the numerous additions and enhancements to Micromine 2018 also seemed popular,” Strydom highlights.</p><p>Commenting on MICROMINE’s decision to exhibit at Mining Indaba, Strydom points out that “this year’s event surpassed our expectations, especially compared to last year, with seemingly a lot more interest. The number of opportunities relating to new business was refreshing, with West and Central African countries prominent. Opportunities with consulting entities also seemed to have increased, with overall interest leaning more towards mining and, to a lesser extent, exploration.”</p><p>As a total solutions provider of mining software packages, Strydom points to the current trend for easy-to-use, fast, function-rich and fit-for-purpose solutions. “This seems to be the underlying requirement from mines and service providers. Data size and complexity seems to be on the increase, and the ability to handle these large, complex data sets is becoming increasingly important. We have also seen a shift towards solutions that require less user involvement – that is, more intuitive, while promoting integration among different software solutions.”</p><p>The latter is particularly important for a supplier of software solutions spanning the entire mining cycle, as the stages of involvement within a project lifecycle differ from project to project. In this regard, Strydom’s remit is “to grow and fortify all areas of our business in Africa, with the vision of being the preferred provider of innovative software solutions, allowing customers to maximise their asset value, increase productivity, and make reliable decisions. The shared vision for the company within South Africa and Africa is to continue making exploration and mining easier by means of our software solutions.”</p><p>To ensure clients obtain maximum benefit from its software solutions, MICROMINE provides comprehensive training services to all users in South Africa and Africa by product and industry-experienced consultants. Training options include offsite training at MICROMINE Africa’s offices in Bryanston, or on-site training at clients’ premises or actual operations. Training can be provided using data training sets, or by using the client’s own data.</p><p>MICROMINE also provides post-sales support for clients, with maintenance as part of the Annual Licence (AL) scheme. The AL entitles clients to online and telephone support, as well as generic product upgrades. This includes access to service packs and new software releases such as Geobank 2018 and Micromine 2018. In addition, Pitram clients enjoy 24/7 mission-critical support.</p><p>“MICROMINE Africa is currently aiming at providing universities across Africa with software licences as part of our Corporate Social Investment strategy. We are targeting areas such as Zambia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Cameroon. The goal is to upskill not only lecturers about the current technological changes, but also to better prepare students before they enter the working world,” Strydom concludes.</p><p><strong><em>Ends</em></strong></p><p><strong>Notes to the Editor<br /></strong>To download hi-res images for this release, please visit <a href="/">http://media.ngage.co.za</a> and click the MICROMINE link to view the company’s press office.</p><p><strong>About MICROMINE<br /></strong>MICROMINE is a leading provider of innovative software solutions that span the breadth of the mining cycle, from geological exploration and data management to resource estimation, mine design, planning and production control.
